Massachusetts witnesses Northern Lights amid severe geomagnetic storm. See image
The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon that occurs when solar energy from the sun collides with the Earth’s magnetic field. This interaction creates a luminous display of light in the sky, often appearing in shades of green, pink, and purple. The intensity of the solar storm was measured as a G4 on the scale, which usually goes up to G5.
The northern lights are now visible in Massachusetts!
